I had a field M-21 engraved by Guiseppe Forte, a Krieghoff 32 and a Baby Browning .25 done by Auggie Loprinzi, and a Browning .380 auto by Bill Mains. I also had a 29 ga Ruger done by Rex Pedersen.

All were done on existing receivers although I had the 21 completely hand polished before it went to the engraver.

How many of you have had your shotguns engraved? Did you special order a “blank” receiver or embellish an existing gun?

You might find the following interesting. This is the website to Firearms Engravers Guild of America, Firearm Engravers Guild Home Page. It’s a listing of engravers around the country.
In the left column click The Engravers, then “Master Engravers” also “Regular Members”. You may get lucky and find one close to home and get all of your questions answered.

That’s fantastic. Not looking to spend a fortune, just make it uniquely mine. I appreciate the information. Everyone on this site is incredibly helpful.

Try Frank Conroy, CT - See his web site - He will advise you on all that needs be done re: prep for engraving, etc - his engraving work is exceptional!!!

My first gun to be engraved at my direction is in the process of being completed this month. I purchased a plain receiver- a model Winchester Model Super X 1 to be the basis for the process. I’m looking forward to seeing the finished product.

I bought all of my shotguns with nice engraving patterns on them. My 525 was the first. Then came the 391 Urika Gold Sporting Clay shotgun, only a few months ago now. Nothing wrong with looking good while you shoot. break em all jeff

I don’t know if you would truly refer to this as engraving, but here is what I had done to my Krieghoff San Remo. Basically Bill Mains converted all the already engraved animals/birds to gold plus some engraving enhancements to the barrel band, trigger guard, and top latch.

I had Bill Mains do some of my K-80 Hangers with gold broken targets as well as the top lever on my Beretta 682 gold. He was one of the best.

I just picked up a K-20 Gold SS engraved by Katherine Nonn. She does amazing work. Here is the top latch from it:

Is that the one Paxton had listed? Beautiful work!

Yes, had to have it when I saw it.
I have a Suhl Scroll from Katherine Nonn also. I love her work.

For years I thought there was no point to engraving, a gun is a tool. Than one day a friend showed up to the trap field with the most beautiful engraved K-80 with gold everywhere. He told me how much it cost. I told him for that much money he could have bought a Picasso painting. Than I realized that you can hang both on the wall and admire each for its beauty, but you cant shoot a Picasso.
